In this article you will learn:
Anakin Skywalker- Jedi of the human race. Anakin's original story is perhaps the most complete, as he appears in most of the Star Wars movies and cartoons.
Christensen as Anakin
Birth and childhood
The hero's mother was Shmi Skywalker from the planet Tatooine. He did not know his father, but there are rumors that he was a Sith who could control midi-chlorians. Since this is not confirmed, it is believed that the boy was artificially conceived.
He was born in 42 BBY on the desert planet Tatooine, but Anakin himself assumed that he had only grown up on an arid planet, where he arrived at the age of about three years.
Eni grew up as a blue-eyed, kind-hearted, hard-working boy who dreamed of one day becoming a star pilot. But his dreams were not destined to come true, since the Skywalkers were the property, slaves of Gardulla the Hutt.
After several years of working for Gardulla, he lost his family in races to a Toydarian, a parts dealer named Watto, and the Skywalkers found a new owner.
At the age of eight, Anakin first learned about the Sith. About the great wars of the past, he was told by an old Republican pilot who believed that not all Sith died in those wars and one managed to survive.
The hero was a very gifted child. He excelled in mathematics and engineering. At such a young age, Eni could collect anything. So he built his own car and robot , having completed the work around the age of nine.
Hidden threat
In the 1999 film The Phantom Menace, we first meet a boy played by actor Jake Lloyd.
In 32 BBY, when the hero was only 10 years old, his life changed dramatically. Knowledge of technology and good nature allowed Eni to get acquainted with space travelers: a Jedi, a Gungan, R2-D2 and a girl - whom he mistook for an “angel”.
Anakin invited the new friends to his home to wait out the sandstorm, where he learned their true purpose of coming to Tatooine - to escape from the Trade Federation to the senate on Coruscant in order to stop the invasion of Naboo. The travelers' hyperdrive was broken and Eni volunteered to help, revealing a desire to race the Bunta Eve Classic in order to win enough money to buy it. The mother could not refuse her son, in his desire to help.
Anakin, Shmi and Amidala
Qui-Gon Jinn saw Skywalker's potential, his lightning-fast reaction, and after checking, he was surprised to learn that his level of midi-Chlarians was higher than that of himself. Anakin, in turn, was very eager to become a Jedi in order to help everyone, which prompted Qui-Gon to think of freeing the boy.
Before the race, Jinn made a bet with the owner of the Skywalkers. But on the condition of Anakin's victory, Watto agreed to let go only the boy, leaving his mother with him.
The hero won this race. Now he was free. Anakin was faced with a choice: live on Tatooine with his mother, or go with Genie and become a Jedi. Skywalker left Tatooine, promising that he would return to free his mother.
Jake Lloyd as little Anakin
So Anakin set out on his first journey.
With Qui-Gon and Queen Amidala (the girl pretended to be her own servant), to whom Eni became very attached, he arrived on Coruscant, where he appeared before the High Council. The council refused to train the boy, although Qui-Gon was convinced that Anakin was the Chosen One (the One who would bring balance to the Force).
The boy experienced the emotions left over from the life of a slave, so the masters felt that he could not achieve the state of peace that a true Jedi needs.
Qui-Gon, Anakin, Obi-Wan and R2-D2
Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear breeds anger; Anger breeds hatred; Hatred is the key to suffering. I feel a strong fear in you.
Not knowing where to go now, Anakin trailed Jinn with whom he flew to Naboo on a mission to liberate the planet from Trade Federation occupation.
Coincidentally, Anakin took a direct part in the Battle of Naboo in space. He single-handedly managed to destroy an entire orbital station that controlled the droids on the planet, ending the invasion.
Although Skywalker emerged victorious, sad news awaited him on earth. In battle with, Kawai-Gon died. The Dying Genie took Obi-Wan Kenobi, his apprentice, with a promise to train the boy and the Council was resigned to the fact that Anakin would become trained in the Force.
After the victory on Naboo, the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic himself promised to follow Skywalker's progress.
Obi-Wan's Apprentice
Innate abilities instantly put Eni above their peers, which began to nourish his pride. He often showed off, opposed the opinions of his elders, and did not show much respect for Obi-Wan, whom he looked down upon somewhat.
Obi-Wan became more than just a teacher to Anakin, he was like a father to him. Secretly, Skywalker believed that his strength was many times greater than the strength of his teacher and Kenobi restrained him. This fact made their relationship confusing and contradictory.
When Anakin did not get along well with Kenobi, he went to his "friend" Palpatine, who flattered the Jedi's pride with praise.
In 28 BBY, Anakin created his first lightsaber in the caverns of Ilum..
Attack of the Clones
Attack of the Clones is the second film in which we see Anakin. Its events take place 10 years after the end of the plot of the first part. In this film, the grown-up Anakin is played by actor Hayden Christensen.
Skywalker and Kenobi
In 22 BBY, Padmé Amidala, now Senator for the Chommell Sector, was assassinated. Anakin, who had not seen Padmé in ten years, was appointed as her personal protector. For ten years, Skywalker did not stop thinking about Amidala, and now that he was with her, his attraction grew into love.
On Naboo, where Padme was hiding with her protector, she answered him with consent, kissing him for the first time. Amidala was more prudent than Skywalker as she thought about the consequences. Anakin, on the other hand, was focused on feelings, breaking with the Order's tradition of being bound only to the Force.
For a long time, Anakin suffered from nightmares in which he saw his mother. A new nightmare he saw on Naboo caused him to defy orders to protect Amidala, taking her with him to Tatooine to find Shmi. On Tatooine, the hero learned that the mother was freed by the farmer Cliegg Lars, who married her. At the Lars farm, Eni was told that Shmi had been kidnapped by Tusken raiders, so the hero immediately rushed to find her.
Skywalker painting
Using his instincts, Anakin found Shmi, though it was too late. The mother died in his arms. This death caused such anger that the Jedi slaughtered the entire tribe of raiders. including women and children. Even Yoda felt Skywalker's pain and anger.
With the death of his mother, the Jedi had a terrible desire to obtain such power, with which you can save people from death.
Padme: « There are things that cannot be fixed, you are not omnipotent, Anakin.»
Anakin: « And there should be! One day I will... I will be the most powerful Jedi! I promise you. I will learn how to make people not die!»
Arriving on Tatooine, Anakin learned that his master had been taken prisoner by the Confederacy on Geonosis. Skywalker's goal was to protect Amidala, but she persuaded the Jedi to go to save Kenobi. Eni left Tatooine, taking his droid C-3PO with him.
Arriving on Geonosis, the couple were captured and put up, along with the previously captured Obi-Wan, in the arena of gladiators. Before the threat of death, Anakin and Padme confessed their love to each other. The trio was saved from certain death by the arrival of the Jedi and the clone army.
Leaving Amidala, Eni and his teacher began to pursue - the head of the Confederation and a former Jedi (note: Qui-Gon Jinn's teacher). Skywalker lost an arm in a fight with him. and almost died if Yoda did not come to the rescue.
Dooku cuts off Anakin's hand
Anakin was implanted with a mechanical arm and while he was in the Temple for treatment, Yoda and Kenobi tried to convince Amidala to end their relationship with him. Padmé lied and she and Skywalker soon married. A secret wedding ceremony took place at Varikino on Naboo. The only witnesses were the droids C-3PO and R2-D2.

Clone Wars
This war made Anakin a legend. He became famous as the best fighter pilot, earning the rare title of Tang.
In the war, Skywalker did not care about his own life, as he worried about the health of his teacher, Palpatine, the soldiers who acted under his leadership, and even the astrodroid R2-D2. More and more rules were broken by the Jedi. More and more he feared for Padmé's life.
Anakin vs Ventress
On a mission to the planet Naboo, Skywalker met Asajj Ventress, a dark Jedi who became a fierce enemy of both Anakin and Kenobi.
During the war, Obi-Wan took on the training of Padawan Halaged Ventor, with whom Anakin became very good friends.
The Clone Wars was a terrible event in the life of a Jedi. During the battles on the planet Jabiim, Skywalker received a message about the alleged death of a teacher. This made the hero more reckless. He threw himself into the thick of things along with clones, Padawans and Jedi. When Palpatine wished to evacuate Anakin from the planet, he agreed, soon learning that everyone he fought had died.
For his heroic actions in the war, Anakin was declared a Jedi Knight. The cut off scythe of the Padawan, Skywalker sent to his wife as a token of love.
Arriving on Coruscant, Anakin wanted to meet his wife, but fell into the trap of Asajj Ventress. The Dark Jedi promised to kill Amidala, which again plunged Skywalker into a rage. In this duel, the hero received his famous scar over his right eye. He emerged victorious, but Ventress managed to survive.
Anakin continued to participate in the battles for the Republic. While fighting on the planet Christophis, his first apprentice was assigned to the Jedi. After the victory on Christophis, Anakin, though reluctantly, accepted the Padawan.
Anakin and Ahsoka
Together with Ahsoka, Eni completed quite a few missions. Together, they rescued Jabba's son, participated in a mission to liberate the planet Kyros, rescued Jedi Master Plo Koon,
Although Anakin and Ahsoka became friends, Tano left the Jedi.
In the Battle of Coruscant, when the Confederacy invaded, the Republic managed to win, but Chancellor Palpatine was captured.
Revenge of the Sith
Skywalker and Kenobi went to save the Chancellor. After finding Palpatine, the Jedi engaged Count Dooku in battle. The Count was still strong, so he quickly knocked out Kenobi by crossing swords with Anakin. War-hardened Skywalker suddenly won, chopping off both of the Sith's arms.
After ordering Palpatine to kill Dooku, the Jedi beheaded him, taking another step towards darkness. To the chancellor's persuasion to abandon Kenobi, Anakin refused.
Returning to Coruscant, the hero learned the news that his wife was pregnant. After that, Anakin increasingly began to be tormented by visions where he saw the death of Amidala. Because of them, the Jedi wanted to gain access to the forbidden holocrons of the masters of the past. This was facilitated by Palpatine, who appointed Skywalker as his representative on the Jedi Council. This meant that Eni was supposed to become a master, but he still did not increase his rank.
The final point of distrust of the Council was that the Jedi asked Anakin to keep an eye on his friend - Palpatine.
The Jedi turned to Yoda for help. He spoke about his prophetic visions in which a person close to him dies, but did not reveal his identity. Yoda advised him to learn to let go of everything that he is afraid to lose. Skywalker was not satisfied with this answer.
Despite the Council's warnings, Anakin continued to spend time with Palpatine, who began to develop a dark side in him. The Chancellor told a story about Darth Plagueis (his teacher) who had power over death. This story made Anakin think that the dark side could save Padmé's life.
When Palpatine revealed his identity - Darth Sidious, the Sith Lord, offering Skywalker the path of the dark side to save his beloved, Anakin refused, reporting everything.
Windu, along with Agen Kolar, Saesee Tiin, and Kit Fisto were supposed to arrest the Sith when Anakin was supposed to stay at the Temple. But, of course, he didn't listen. Tormented by thoughts of Amidala's death, Skywalker followed the Jedi. Arriving at the chancellor, the hero found Windu, who was about to kill Palpatine. The fear of losing Padmé overwhelmed Anakin as he cut off the master's hand and allowed Palpatine to win.
It was too late to repent, there was no going back. Palpatine explained this as the Jedi's destiny and offered to join the dark side. The Sith Lord promised to discover the secret of power over death, so Skywalker agreed to become a student of Darth Sidious in order to save Amidala's life.
So, Anakin Skywalker “died”, becoming legendary.
« Now get up… Darth Vader!”
Good day to all self-respecting readers of the site site!
Today I would like to puzzle you with a poll that may not dispel the darkness of the mystery on this issue, but at least give us all food for thought and express the public opinion of the GRU.
So, recently reviewing Star Wars films and reading articles on their world, this very question came to my mind: but still, who was the father of our "darling" Anakin Anikeia, also later known as Darth Vader.
To begin with, I propose to look at how Anakin was seen by us in the course of the plot development:
Father of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader (Poll)  Father of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader (Poll)
|
Father of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader (Poll)  Father of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader (Poll)
|
Qui-Gon: He has an unusually large flow of Force.
Qui-Gon: Who is his father?
Anakin's mother: He doesn't have a father.
Anakin's mother: I carried him, I gave birth to him, I raised him.
Anakin's mother: I can't explain everything.
Thus, in fact, the first, most canonical version of Anakin's origin is born here - he did not have a father, and he himself is a creation midi-chlorian. And it's not surprising that it does. The Jedi have long been waiting for the Chosen One (though for a while, while the Sith were considered destroyed, this prophecy was considered fulfilled), who was supposed to bring balance to the Force.
True, there are suspicions here that if it was the midi-chlorians who voluntarily went for this, then perhaps they were midi-chlorians of the dark side. =)

Midi-chlorians, they are. ;)
Anyway, midi-chlorians is our number one candidate for parenthood.
Now, if we think a little more, we can assume that midi-chlorians they didn’t do it arbitrarily (well, after all, why do they need it?), but they were controlled by someone’s will. Moreover, this "someone" clearly had something to do with Strength and knew how to use it (otherwise, how would he/she know about midi-chlorians?).
Let's welcome our number 2 parenting candidate: Darth Plagueis.
Father of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader (Poll)

Darth Plagueis the Wise (Darth Sidious' teacher)
This Sith Lord was, according to Darth Sidious, so powerful that he could control midi-chlorians to create life. So he could very well be participating in Anakin's mind. (Moreover, many fans of the series adhere to this version. Although, I have not yet found a 100% reliable source where it would be described that Plagueis created Anakin)
As an alternative to the first two candidates, I propose to take Darth Sidious, who managed to visit the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic and the first emperor of the Galactic Empire. After all, it was he who taught Anakin, had such an influence on him, and told him about Plagueis and his powers. Perhaps he himself was either the father or the creator of Anakin?

Darth Sidious before plastic surgery to change his face.
Candidate number 4 is Qui-Gon Jinn. He took the boy from Tatooine. What if he didn't just find it there? ;) Although, of course, there is no direct reason to believe that he is Anakin's father, but still his unexpected concern for the slave boy raises questions.
Preliminary note: This article is for die-hard fans of the Star Wars movie epic and shouldn't be taken too seriously, it's just a different perspective on this classic franchise as well as one of the most revered villains to ever hit the silver screen.
Darth Vader undoubtedly strangled a certain number of his fellow soldiers with the help of the dark side of the Force, as well as those who stood in the way of the Empire, which seeks complete dominance in Star Wars. But was he, in fact, 100% villain, or more of a powerful pawn at the center of an intergalactic chess game that began thousands of years earlier between the Jedi and the Sith?
In fact, Vader fulfilled the "prophecy" at the end of Return of the Jedi, once again tipping the balance in favor of the Force, killing the Emperor who represented the forces of evil and saving the life of his son Luke. It probably took him 30 years, but he went back to the person he was before he put on the mask, that is, Anakin Skywalker, and perhaps during this time he discovered what was wrong with the Jedi , and the Sith.
The argument here is not about whether Vader was a saint, it's about something else altogether - just that the Jedi and Sith are just as guilty of his unholy actions as the war that is fought in these films everywhere, even "in the most distant parts of this galaxy."
Now, before the internet rebels against this theory, let's get down to the facts.
New direction
As we head towards the December screening of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the second installment of the new trilogy, there may be a different perspective on the Jedi, even from the already iconic Luke Skywalker. Perhaps they are not seen as the completely pure heroes that they have always been perceived to be.
Even in the first trailer for The Last Jedi, Luke (played by Mark Hamill) says, "The time of the Jedi is coming to an end." This phrase can have a huge number of meanings, although this is part of only a two-minute teaser. However, it fits in well with the debate that has been going on on the Internet since the return of Star Wars in 2015, along with The Force Awakens.

The Economist 06/10/2016This film talks about how the new "Emperor-like" character Snoke is neither a Jedi nor a Sith, and the same applies to his apprentice Kylo Ren. But why is that? Shouldn't there be a division into light and darkness?
Rumor has it, confirmed in some of the footage from the trailer (from now on, it's all about subtleties and details meant for very big fans) that we'll probably learn more about the first Jedi in this movie, thousands of years before they're introduced. events. They are neither light nor dark, and the intended balance in the Force will be different from what we saw in the first six films.
In addition, it seems that Luke - perhaps he learned that his father first joined the Dark Side, and then began to train and become a Jedi - had doubts about whether a person, including a Jedi, be completely on the side of good or evil. There are shades of gray, and if you take them out of your life, then you end up with Darth Vader.
Anakin Skywalker
Let's take a look back at the time before Luke's birth and focus on Dart's life in previous episodes.
Anakin Skywalker (played by Hayden Christiansen) was a student of the Jedi, who told him that all sorts of attachments and emotions were not characteristic of their kind. They were peacekeepers who had no right to marry and have children. They had a more important calling - to protect the galaxy from those whose sole purpose was to rule.
Everything is fine if we talk about feelings, but in life everything happened not quite like that, and young Skywalker noticed this.
First of all, Anakin Skywalker married Padme (Natalie Portman) and then discovered that she would have a child with him. He also had a dream in which she was dying in childbirth, and so he began looking for a way to save his love and his unborn children. He was unable to do so with the help of the Jedi Code and the advice of Master Yoda, but at that moment one of his mentors told him to spy on his friend. Does anyone see a problem here? Later, when Anakin himself is about to tell Mace Windu (Samuel Jackson) that his close friend and mentor, the Emperor, was the dark power-bound Sith Lord they are looking for, he realizes that Mace had instantly made the decision to have his kill him rather than bring him to court and give him a chance to face the law because, in his words, "he's too powerful to stay alive." And so Anakin takes action, overthrows Windu and declares his allegiance to the Emperor. Later, he did some questionable things (cough, cough, killed the cubs), but it was all done in the name of love.
In no case did the Jedi act with complete impartiality and only in accordance with their teachings, and he knew it. He may have been manipulated by Palpatine, but he was not particularly helped by his observation of what other Jedi were doing. In his opinion, he made a choice in favor of the lesser of two evils.
"Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is a villain!" Obi-Wan tells him during their great battle on the planet Mustafar - this is the same battle in which Ovi-Wan cuts off all his limbs and leaves him at the moment when he is already on fire.
"I think they're the Jedi villains," Anakin replies.
Return of the Jedi
And now let's turn to Luke's journey and how the events in the film "Return of the Jedi" ended.
In the pre-Jedi films, Luke was misled as to what happened to his father and then told not to save his friends because he needed to continue his studies with Yoda. "Let them die and you must perfect your lightsaber skills" was basically what he was told.
As he battles his father - now Darth - and defeats him, he once again refuses to kill him or let him die and takes his place at the side of the Emperor based on the Sith code. After that, the Emperor tries to kill Luke, but at that moment Dart intervenes in the ongoing events.
Instead of watching the death of his enemy (his son), he intervenes, while ignoring both the Sith code and the Jedi code, and acts according to his heart. He kills his mentor, then dies himself, but saves his boy. That is, Darth Vader does all this for love, which was forbidden by the Jedi code, and in this way he returns balance to the Force and the Galaxy. In addition, he may be creating a model for a new way of life - it is no longer the Sith and Jedi, but the Grays.
It's similar to what Kylo Ren says in The Force Awakens when he looks at Darth's mask melting: "I'll finish what you started, grandpa."
Ren is the son of Han Solo and General Leia, and in addition, he rebels against the teachings of the Jedi, leaves Luke's new academy and tries to eradicate the Jedi once and for all.
Wait, but he killed his own father. So what, he's clearly a bad guy. But is it? Only time will tell.

Anakin Skywalker
New Hope
Vader is tasked with recovering the stolen Death Star plans and finding the Rebel Alliance's secret base. He captures and tortures Princess Leia Organa and is by his side when Death Star Commander Grand Moff Tarkin destroys her home planet of Alderaan. Shortly thereafter, he fights with lightsabers with his former master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who has come to the Death Star to save Leia. He then meets Luke Skywalker in battle on the Death Star, and senses a great ability in him in the Force; this is confirmed later when the youth destroys the battle station. Vader was about to shoot down Luke with his TIE Fighter (TIE Advanced x1), but a surprise attack Millennium Falcon, piloted by Han Solo, sends Vader far into space.
The Empire Strikes Back
After the destruction of the rebel base "Echo" on the planet Hoth by the forces of the Empire, Darth Vader sends bounty hunters in search of the Millennium Falcon. Aboard his Star Destroyer, he executes Admiral Ozzel and Captain Niida for their mistakes. Meanwhile, Boba Fett manages to locate the Falcon and track its progress to the gas giant Bespin. Finding that Luke is not on the Falcon, Vader captures Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and C-3PO in order to lure Luke into a trap. He makes a deal with Cloud City administrator Lando Calrissian to turn Khan over to the bounty hunter Boba Fett, and freezes Solo in carbonite. Luke, who at this time is undergoing training in the possession of the Light side of the Force under the guidance of Yoda on the planet Dagoba, senses the danger that threatens his friends. The young man goes to Bespin to fight Vader, but is defeated and loses his right hand. Vader then reveals the truth to him: he is Luke's father, not Anakin's killer, as Obi Wan Kenobi told the young Skywalker, and offers to overthrow Palpatine and rule the galaxy together. Luke refuses and jumps down. He is sucked down a garbage chute and thrown towards Cloud City's antennas, where he is rescued by Leia, Chewbacca, Lando, C-3PO, and R2-D2 on the Millennium Falcon. Darth Vader tries to stop the Millennium Falcon, but it goes into hyperspace. Vader then leaves without saying a word.
Return to the Light Side
The events described in this section take place in the film"Star Wars. Episode VI: Return of the Jedi »Vader is tasked with overseeing the completion of the second Death Star. He meets with Palpatine aboard the half-completed station to discuss Luke's plan to turn to the dark side.
During this time, Luke had nearly completed his Jedi training and learned from the dying Master Yoda that Vader was indeed his father. He learns about his father's past from the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and also learns that Leia is his sister. During an operation on the forest moon of Endor, he surrenders to Imperial forces and is brought before Vader. Aboard the Death Star, Luke resists the Emperor's call to unleash his anger and fear for his friends (and thus turn to the dark side of the Force). However, Vader, using the Force, penetrates Luke's mind, learns of Leia's existence, and threatens to turn her into a servant of the dark side of the Force in his place. Luke gives in to his rage and nearly kills Vader by chopping off his father's right arm. But at that moment, the young man sees Vader's cybernetic hand, then looks at his own, realizes that he is dangerously close to the fate of his father and curbs his anger.
When the Emperor approaches him, tempting Luke to kill Vader and take his place, Luke throws away his lightsaber, refusing to land a fatal blow on his father. In anger, Palpatine attacks Luke with lightning bolts. Luke writhes under the Emperor's torture, trying to fight. Palpatine's anger grows, Luke asks Vader for help. At this time, the confrontation between the Dark and Light Sides rises in Vader. He is afraid to rebel against the Emperor, but at the same time, he does not want to lose his only son. The Emperor nearly kills Luke when Anakin Skywalker defeats Darth Vader and Vader returns to the Light Side. After that, he grabs the Emperor and throws him into the Death Star reactor. However, he receives fatal lightning strikes. In fact, Darth Vader is a kind of golem Palpatine. The resulting lightning wounds could not have killed Darth Vader, as in the comics, Vader's suit could withstand much stronger blows. Darth Vader dies due to a rupture of communication with the Emperor, who has kept him alive since the events on Mustafar.
Before he dies, he asks his son to take off his breathing mask so he can look at Luke "with his own eyes". For the first (and, as it turned out, the last) time, father and son actually see each other. Before dying, Vader admits to Luke that he was right and the Light Side remained in him. He asks his son to convey these words to Leah. Luke flies away with his father's body as the Death Star explodes, destroyed by the Rebel Alliance.
That same night, Luke cremates his father as a Jedi. And while celebrating victory on the forest moon of Endor, Luke sees the ghost of Anakin Skywalker dressed as a Jedi, standing next to the ghosts of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda.
Awakening of the Force
Some thirty years after the events of episode six, one of the members of the First Order organization that replaced the Empire, Kylo Ren, the son of Leia and Han Solo, and the grandson of Anakin, obtained Darth Vader's melted and mangled helmet. The film shows Kylo kneeling in front of the helmet and promising that he will finish what Vader started.
Fulfillment of prophecy
Upon first meeting Anakin, Qui-Gon Jin considers him the Chosen One, a child who will restore the balance of the Force. The Jedi believed that the Chosen One would bring rebalancing through the destruction of the Sith. Yoda believes that the prophecy can be misinterpreted. In reality, Anakin first destroyed many Jedi in the Temple on Coruscant and a large number of other Jedi during the formative years of the Empire, in a peculiar way fulfilling the prophecy and bringing balance to the Force, equalizing the number of Sith and Jedi (Darth Sidious and Darth Vader on the same side of the Force, Yoda and Obi - Wang on the other hand). After 20 years, Darth Vader kills the Emperor and sacrifices himself, leaving neither the Jedi nor the Sith. Luke Skywalker, Anakin's son, became the new Jedi after the final showdown with Darth Vader, completing his final training.
Armor of Darth Vader
Darth Vader costume- A portable life support system that Anakin Skywalker was forced to wear to compensate for the serious damage he received as a result of a duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar in 19 BC. b. It was designed to support and protect the charred body of a former Jedi. The costume was made in the ancient traditions of the Sith, according to which the warriors of the dark side Force had to adorn themselves with heavy armor. The suit was constructed using numerous Sith Alchemy techniques to augment Vader's severely diminished vitality and abilities.
The suit contained a wide variety of life support systems, the most important of which was a sophisticated breathing apparatus, and gave Vader relative freedom of movement without the need for a flying chair. In the process of use, it broke down several times, it was repaired and improved. The suit was eventually irreparably damaged by a powerful bolt of lightning from Emperor Palpatine aboard the second Death Star after Vader saved his son, Luke Skywalker, from near death. After his sudden death, Vader in armor was buried by Skywalker in the ritualistic Jedi funeral ceremonies in the forest of Endor in 4 ABY. Some 30 years later, his grandson Kylo Ren (Ben Solo) bows before Vader's melted and mangled helmet, promising to finish what his grandfather started.
Capabilities
Lightsaber wielding
Jedi Knight
Kenobi: « Practicing your lightsaber as diligently as your wits, you could compete with Master Yoda himself.» skywalker: « Thought I could.» Kenobi: « Only in dreams, my very young padawan.» ―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker (source)Anakin Skywalker trained under one of the strongest members of the Jedi Order, Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. Thanks to a mentor, he learned almost all styles of lightsaber wielding, which made him an incredibly strong opponent, despite his young age.
Skywalker preferred to use the fifth form of combat, the most aggressive and aimed at physically suppressing the opponent, perfectly suited to the wayward and impulsive nature of the young man. Natural talent allowed him to quickly master new techniques, for the sake of his own ego, and, after a while, the Jedi began to consider himself equal to Grand Master Yoda himself. Anakin also mastered the art of dual-wielding lightsaber combat on his own, which came in handy during his duel with Count Dooku on Geonosis and several other times during the Separatist Crisis.
Over the long ten years of conflict, Skywalker, who received the title of Jedi Knight, took part in a great many battles and fights, continuing to hone his skills and abilities. Evidence of his skill can be successful battles with Asajj Ventress, Dooku's personally trained Dark Jedi, General Grievous' MagnaGuards IG-100, and his own teacher in training sparring. Relying on both strength and agility, Anakin could easily parry or evade enemy attacks, immediately responding with swift counterstrikes. The use of the Jem So often forced the Jedi to call forth fury and anger in combat, pushing him more and more towards the dark side. During his final confrontation with Dooku, Skywalker surrendered himself completely to these dangerous emotions, allowing them to fuel his power and control his actions. With incredible ease, he overcame the almost impenetrable defenses of the Earl, who was once considered the best swordsman of the Order, cut off both brushes of the Sith Lord, and then brutally executed at the suggestion of Chancellor Palpatine. Before his death, Dooku recognized the opponent as the best fifth form practitioner he had ever seen.
Sith Lord
When Anakin Skywalker finally embraced the dark side of the Force and the title of Darth Vader, he transformed his fighting style into an even more brutal and aggressive one. Yet the young, strong, and gifted Sith lacked experience, poise, and concentration. Calling on the Dark Side, he could not quite control the granted power, anger clouded his mind and clarity of thoughts, preventing him from fully enjoying the benefits of the fifth form. Ultimately, the inability to control emotions was the reason for the defeat of the Sith in a duel on Mustafar.
Once imprisoned in an armored life support suit, Vader had to rely entirely on the newfound power of mechanical prosthetics. His fighting style became clumsy, consisting of nothing but sharp vertical strikes aimed at knocking him down and finishing off his opponent on the ground. Sith turned on the elements of Soresu and Ataru, trying to somehow compensate for his own slowness and slowness.
However, the dark lord quickly managed to overcome his limitations and created a unique form of combat that absorbed the techniques of many Makashi, Soresu, Ataru, Jem So and Juyo, even the highest, most dangerous. He turned the disadvantages of heavy cybernetic armor into advantages, using its weight and the power of implants to deliver incredibly powerful strikes. During the fight, the Sith Lord made movements only with his elbows and wrists, and not with his entire arm as a whole. Vader also regained some of his former mobility, learning to use the Force to perform acrobatic stunts. Two-handed grasp of the hilt, unexpected and unpredictable lunges, surprisingly fast reaction and amazing intuition once again turned the dark lord into a formidable opponent. One of his favorite tactics was to force his enemies to release their emotions, convince them that they were pushing him, in fact, wasting all their strength, and then disarm them with a single blow. Vader was able to apply various variations of his own style, using a one-handed grip for greater accuracy and economy of movement during an attack. He acted similarly in his fight with Luke Skywalker on Bespin. Going on the defensive, the Sith Lord held the hilt of his lightsaber with both hands, pressing his elbows to his body and holding the blade straight ahead, using only his hands. This position provided protection for the body and vulnerable control panel on the chest, but did not cover the limbs.
The Dark Lord learned from the ill-fated duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi and learned to control his feelings in combat, acting intelligently, deliberately, channeling the power of the dark side, not allowing rage to blind him. Vader often practiced with training droids that were stronger and faster than normal living beings. Such sparring helped the Sith's skills to always be honed, even with a long absence of actual combat practice. Despite the stiffness of his movements, he did not experience problems in duels with dexterous and frisky opponents.
Force abilities
Jedi Knight
Due to the fact that Skywalker was born with the highest concentration of midi-chlorians in the blood at that time and was considered the Chosen One, his potential for the Force was truly enormous. Very young and largely untrained due to his late joining the Jedi Order, Anakin was one of the most powerful proponents of the Light Side of his time. However, training with a lightsaber attracted the young man much more than practicing the techniques of the Force. As a result, his knowledge in this area was narrowed down to a few essential techniques.
The high level of midi-chlorians not only gave Skywalker a close connection to the Force, but also made him unnecessarily arrogant and self-confident. Achieving much greater success than other students, Anakin continued to feed his pride and conceit.
The Jedi was a true master of telekinesis, able to lift even huge objects with minimal effort. He could perform Force Leap, moving long distances in this way, and use Force Push and Mind Trick. During the Separatist Crisis, Anakin mastered one of the dark powers.
"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..."
This is how every film in George Lucas's legendary fantasy epic "Star Wars" begins.

The young man was destined for one of the main roles in the victory of the Rebellion and the revival of the Jedi Order.
History of creation
The space opera, which eventually turned into eight films, was conceived by the American director back in the mid-1970s. The inspiration for the literary work was Akira Kurosawa's painting The Hidden Fortress. The Japanese film became the basis for the creation of storylines, as well as the concept of the images of the main characters of Star Wars. According to Lucas, even in the work he was repelled by "Dune" by Frank Herbert.
The story of A New Hope, shown through the adventures of a whole scattering of heroes, has become a phenomenon of mass culture: in addition to the main art productions, fans of science fiction received animated series and cartoons, book publications, including comic book magazines. Gamers bought video games, and children bought toys in the form of characters invented by Lucas.
The original Star Wars trilogy includes:
- "Star Wars. Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)
- "Star Wars. The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
- "Star Wars. Return of the Jedi (1983)

Plot
The plot of Star Wars is based on events in a distant galaxy inhabited by motley creatures, where everything is subject to the confrontation between light and dark forces. The inhabitants of the fictional universe are served by robotic droids that help in everyday affairs. Travel in space between planets for the inhabitants of the galaxy - in the order of things.
A detail of the spiritual and mystical nature is the so-called Force - an energy field that is created by living beings and permeates everything around, linking into a single whole.
But not everyone has a strong connection with the Force from birth. Those who are lucky have unusual abilities, for example, they have telekinesis, they can control the mind, predict the future. Such lucky ones are divided into two groups: the Jedi (stand on the light side of the Force) and the Sith (antagonists).
One of the main goodies in George Lucas' fantasy, Luke Skywalker joined the ranks of the Jedi, playing a key role in the Galactic Civil War, defeating the Galactic Empire, and overthrowing the Sith.
Biography of Luke Skywalker
Luke was born with his twin sister, Leia, in the medical center of the asteroid Posis Massa at a time when the Old Republic disappeared and the Empire was formed, and the Jedi were being destroyed. The mother died immediately after giving birth. Luke Skywalker's father Anakin, known as the Sith Lord, shortly before the events switched to the side of evil. Jedi family friends Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi decided to separate the children and hide them from their enemies.
Luke grew up under the care of his uncle and aunt on the desert planet Tatooine, dreaming from childhood to leave his native land to drive a spaceship. For the time being, the boy had no idea about his origin and destiny.
Life changed dramatically when two droids R2-D2 and C-3PO were in the hands of my uncle with blueprints for the secret weapon of the Empire called the Death Stars. Imperial stormtroopers in search of documents came to Tatooine and killed the young man's relatives. Luke went on a dangerous journey to the rebels to give them the blueprints for a superweapon.
On this dangerous journey, young Skywalker, under the guidance of Kenobi and Master Yoda, learned the basics of using the Force, met members of the Rebellion and his sister, Princess Leia Organa. And Obi-Wan Kenobi contributed to the fact that the young man joined the ranks of the rebels.
Being a member of the Rebel Alliance, the hero, along with Leia and Solo, fought against the oppressive regime, participated in several battles with the forces of the Empire, led by Darth Vader. The Sith Lord has been hunting Skywalker for a long time. As a result, the son fell into a trap set in Cloud City, where a duel took place between Luke and Vader. During a lightsaber battle, Dart left his son without an arm and revealed to him the secret of birth.
The fateful battle happened when Vader brought Luke to Emperor Palpatine. Together they tried to convince the young Jedi to turn to the dark side of the Force. However, Skywalker managed to defeat his father and even awaken bright feelings in him. In the fight, the young man refused to obey the Emperor's order to kill Vader. The Dark Knight threw the ruler of the Empire into the mine and died from a mortal wound himself, but before that he accepted redemption and became Anakin Skywalker again.
After the victory of the Rebellion, Luke built a new temple and Jedi academy, was going to revive the Order of those who stand on the light side of the Force, almost destroyed by Palpatine. But after the betrayal of his nephew and student Ben Solo, who preferred the camp of the dark side and destroyed the entire academy, the hero went into self-imposed exile.
In the following episodes, Luke Skywalker will again come to the fore. According to the preliminary comments of the creators of the paintings, the character of the character will get stronger and become more rigid.
Luke fell in love with a member of the opposing side, Mara Jade, who later became an ally, and then the wife of Skywalker, and bore him a son, Ben. After her marriage, Mara dedicated her life to the New Jedi Order.
Image, powers and abilities
A short young man (Luke grew only up to 172 cm) from early childhood was distinguished by indefatigable daydreaming and wandering in the clouds. Over the years, this was supplemented by recklessness, impatience and impulsiveness. The young man did not know how to lie at all. Over time, I learned patience and restraint, wisdom came. The environment noted that he was smart beyond his age. Skywalker responded to any request for help, even if it would bring trouble on himself.
The character easily learned the skill of fighting with lightsabers. Luke Skywalker's sword, inherited from his father, was blue, a shade associated with the Jedi Guardians. Having lost his weapon along with his hand, Luke assembled a new sword, only with a green blade. Usually such swords belonged to scientists, diplomats and orators.
Skywalker is the owner of a strong connection with the Force. Kenobi taught the young man the skill of controlling it and obtaining information about the world around him. Luke began to feel the approach of his father, independently revealed the secrets of telekinesis and began to use the opportunities that opened up, later he learned the secrets of influencing the minds of enemies. With the help of the Force, he even did the unbelievable - he destroyed the Death Star.
Actors and roles
In the cinema, the image of the Jedi Knight brilliantly embodied. The same actor will please the audience with his presence in the expected tapes of 2017 and 2019. Han Solo played , and Leia Organa - .
The character of Luke's teacher Obi-Wan Kenobi was conveyed by Alec Guinness. The doll, which acted as Master Yoda, was given the voice by Frank Oz, who also controlled the structure. The role of the main antagonist Darth Vader went to David Prowse.

- Star Wars might have been released under a different name. The 20th Century Fox film company did not like the name of the future tape, and a competition was announced among the members of the film crew. However, no one dared to go against the idea of the screenwriter and director.
Actors of the Star Wars saga - The image of Luke Skywalker haunted the author. At first, George Lucas was going to create a Jedi girl. Then I thought that it would be nice to make the main character a dwarf, and later the idea came up to turn the character into an elderly general. The surname of the Jedi was even in the midst of filming - in the script, Luke was listed as Starkiller.
- A funny episode is connected with the filming of the space opera. The planet Tatooine, where Luke grew up, is named after the city of the same name in Tunisia. A large-scale film was filmed in the same country. Once, an international conflict almost happened: the Libyan government was worried about the abundance of military equipment on the border and was even going to announce a general mobilization. The Tunisian authorities asked the creators of the picture to move to the center of the state so as not to embarrass the neighbors.
